In an acid-base titration,the rapid change in $pH$ near the equivalence point depends on the indicator used. The $pH$ of the solution is related to the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid $(HIn)$ and base $(In^-)$ forms of the indicator by which equation?

  • A
    $\log \frac{[HIn]}{[In^-]} = pK_{In} - pH$
  • B
    $\log \frac{[HIn]}{[In^-]} = pH - pK_{In}$
  • C
    $\log \frac{[In^-]}{[HIn]} = pH + pK_{In}$
  • D
    $\log \frac{[In^-]}{[HIn]} = pH - pK_{In}$
